History of Catalog Homes

Filed under: Real Estate Trivia — Todd Kreps @ 7:11 am

The Aladdin company sold precut, mail order homes out of a catalog from 1906 until it ceased operations in 1982. Brothers William and Otto Sovereign started Aladdin with a small, one-time ad in the Saturday Evening Post. In addition to catalog homes, Aladdin also sold whole towns complete with schools, churches, firehouses, sidewalks and roads. Hopewell, Virginia was created by Aladdin in 1914.
